More than three decades after Bob Marley’s death, Bob Marley and the Wailers remain among the most famous bands of all time. With over 75 million albums sold worldwide, and appeal that spans generations, their legacy is something most other acts only dream of. Their evolution from an early-60s Jamaican ska group to international superstars was not just improbable, but unprecedented for an act from a third-world nation. Bob Marley and the Wailers: The Ultimate Illustrated History documents Marley's and the Wailers' role in spreading reggae music around the globe. Author Richie Unterberger examines the socially conscious lyrics that made Marley a universal symbol of pride and justice, as well as the roles and careers of other Wailers, most notably Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The resulting package is authoritative but also beautifully designed and illustrated, featuring images of rare memorabilia, as well as fantastic performance and candid off-stage photography. Additionally, Unterberger delves into the influence of the Rastafari movement on the musicians’ lives and music, and on controversial incidents like the breakup of the original Wailers in the mid-1970s; the attempted assassination of Marley in 1976; and his premature death in 1981.
